Just type "adduid" (w/o quotes) then follow the prompts to Enter the Name; Comment & Email Address. For "Comment" You may either leave it blank or put whatever. You might wish to use this to say: New Email Address Whatever is in the Comment field here will have no effect upon the Key. It is for informational purposes only; but remember, it *cannot* be changed or Deleted in the future without re-creating another UID! You will then be prompted to Enter the Passphrase and then be returned to the Command Prompt. At this time Your Key will be showing _both_ UID's. You may then either type "save" and be done or; type "2" and see the asterisk appear next to the New UID. Then type "primary" and change the New UID to the Primary UID at this time. Then type "save" and have it all done at one time. Later, You can decide whether or not You wish to Revoke the Old UID or simply Disable it. Opinions will vary and I won't suggest either one. Just remember to ignore the quotes I've placed around the commands I listed above. :) JOHN ;) Timestamp: Saturday 21 Apr 2007, 00:11 --400 (Eastern Daylight Time) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8-svn4485: (MingW32) Comment: Public Key at: http://tinyurl.com/8cpho Comment: Gossamer Spider Web of Trust: http://www.gswot.org Comment: My Homepage: http://tinyurl.com/yzhbhx iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJGKY8lAAoJEBCGy9eAtCsPvZgH/jk/VRsS7sSoSJTJv1OZdQMS IFI3VXoTkaozFbcxkKWYwFhv3cwTUM98h99Q5namr0rLJG0K/vEU8jlLvHUjlDCW jLvQv6ryqsg+PdjdxdqmyMujYKlaVwBchR23/jiCLblp9POU1yqstefMIOlm7aeO Zdd/JOzyCjsfSBQrdzWlRFIVt3LMIYn1pT0gg7ghjdogBjMgBiNV/b2jXYq9EKLr UizD6+oGxzyWDtAAWmAaPtuXUSt2ZbIs5ydbFB0eYUTL6MqpDZPsQXZMYDUgKJcO KA741eo/FyoJDoJqZnHTlPBfexHs8qA6IEmqRoVtKRfTmB3wB1AbdhRyFT1ts/M= =N33i -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
